[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is prestige associated with international travel, particularly European travel. It's less than it used to be when it was harder to get overseas, but there is a difference to me between going to Seattle and going to Greece. Seattle is awesome, but Greece is an ancient country with a ton of history. It's also beautiful - not that Seattle is, but on my summer vacation, I'd take a Greek island over Seattle any day.[/quote]

9:49 here. Like I said, we like to travel and we take 4 trips a year. So it's not like I am against travel. But what I find peculiar is this "ranking" of destinations. I've never been to Seattle or Greece but I'd like to go to both one day. I have both on my mental list of places I'd like to visit. Why value one over the other? They are different experiences. It's not something you can really say one is better than the other. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Sometimes you're in the mood for an apple and sometimes you'd prefer an orange.

Ranking the unrankable is a distinctly UMC American pastime (see also: anything that US News ranks) and I think it's a waste of time.[/quote]
